Purpose of the list

There are two versions of the Overpayments Requiring Urgent Review List.

  • ORUR is the update version.
  • ORUV is the view only version.

This work list is available in responsible offices. The purpose of the work list is to allow you to review cases where there is a potential repayment or reallocation.

How often should the list be reviewed?

The Overpayments Requiring Urgent Review List is an immediate action work list. You must review it daily and deal with any entries immediately.

Who does what?

An Assistant Officer (AO) normally reviews the list identifying any new cases and existing cases where the B/F date has expired. They normally establish why the case is on the list and carry out actions to clear the overpayment. If the overpayment is greater than £150001, refer cases to a CT Co-ordinator or Technical Caseworker for further action. Reallocations or set offs of any amount can be dealt with by an Assistant officer.

When are new entries added?

COTAX adds entries to the Overpayments Requiring Urgent Review List daily where cases satisfy the reasons for entry.

Reasons for entry

Cases appear on the Overpayments Requiring Urgent Review List (ORUR) when automatic reallocation or repayment of an overpayment is inhibited due to one or more of the reasons shown below and the overpayment needs to be checked urgently.

ORUR can show only one reason for entry. It is important to fully review the case and in particular, make sure that a penalty is not due before you make repayment.
